"The Law of Contract" is a new, innovative textbook, presenting the 'core' of the traditional contract syllabus in a way that readers will find useful and stimulating on many different levels. For students who need an accessible, modern introduction to the subject, it presents the law in a direct, engaging style, with helpful tips for understanding its complexities and structuring answers to legal problems. But for those who wish to probe more deeply, it also analyses in detail the relevant legal principles, addressing current controversies and placing the law in its commercial context. In particular, the book explores academic commentary on the law of contract, summarizing and explaining the arguments and their implications.
